Soldier

In your formative years, you fought tirelessly in skirmishes and campaigns against enemy forces. In defining your career, think about the following questions:

  • Which army and company did you serve?
  • What conflicts were you a part of?
  • What rank did you achieve?
  • What heroics did you perform in the heat of battle?

You gain the following career benefits:

  • Skills: One skill from each of the exploration skill group and the intrigue skill group
  • Languages: Two languages
  • Renown: 1
  • Title—Drill Sergeant: At the start of a group test or montage test, you can spend a hope token. If you do, all participants make tests as if they also had your exploration skills.
